Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 350ºF.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 13x9-inch cake, blending dry pudding mix into batter before pouring into prepared pan. Cool completely.

  3. Step 3

    Use pulsing action of food processor to process cake, in batches, until fine crumbs form. Place crumbs in large bowl. Add small amount of frosting; mix well with your hands. Mix in remaining frosting; roll into 40 (1-inch) balls.

  4. Step 4

    Cover baking sheet with parchment. Melt white chocolate in microwave as directed on package. Dip end of 1 lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert coated end halfway into 1 cake ball. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with 19 additional lollipop sticks and 19 of the remaining cake balls. Dip balls, 1 at a time, in remaining melted chocolate; gently shake coated ball over bowl of melted chocolate to remove excess chocolate before returning cake ball to prepared baking sheet.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat with semi-sweet chocolate and remaining cake balls. Let stand 45 min. or until chocolate is firm.
